Inside Crown Point's Haunted Jail and Sheriff's House: Ghost Stories & Paranormal Investigations

In this episode of Frequency Freaks, we step inside one of Northwest Indiana's most fascinating haunted locations — the historic Old Sheriff's House and Jail in Crown Point. Host Izzy Gomez is joined by Sandy and Jacquie, the team behind the ghost tours and paranormal investigations hosted at the site. Together, they explore the rich history of the haunted jail, the spirits that may still linger there, and the eerie experiences reported by investigators, mediums, and visitors. Originally built in 1882, the Old Sheriff's House and Jail served as both a family home and a working jail for decades. Over time, the building expanded multiple times due to overcrowding, housing inmates, sheriff's families, and even additional institutions within its walls. Today, the historic site is known not only for its preservation efforts but also for the paranormal activity that draws ghost hunters from across the region. In this episode, we discuss: • The history of the Old Sheriff's House and Jail in Crown Point • How ghost tours and ghost hunts help fund preservation of the historic building • Personal paranormal investigations and spirit communication experiences • Stories of direct encounters with former inmates' spirits • Why haunted jails often become hotspots for paranormal activity • The eerie energy that continues to attract ghost hunters and researchers Sandy and Jacquie share how their lifelong fascination with the paranormal led them to work closely with this haunted location — and some of the chilling moments they've experienced during investigations.
